Should powerlifting meets only allow two attempts per lift? | Canada athletes vs Texas athletes

WEBVTT

1
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:15.560
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to a
powerlifting talk show that we'll probably talk about

2
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:19.000
powerlifting today. Maybe, Yeah,
there's things moving. We're going to like

3
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.559
graze the edge of it. I
don't know. I got a couple of

4
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.800
things. Okay, Oh good,
good, good, because I came in

5
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.519
with nothing and I found this one
thing. So we'll lead with yours maybe

6
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:32.399
and then I'll lead with mine.
But some of the things are you know,

7
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.679
people always talk about it, and
I wonder about weightlifting or even other

8
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.399
sports, like what the internal talk
is about growing the sport, and then

9
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.320
like why do you want to grow
it? Like what's the end goal?

10
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.399
What's yeah? Is it money?
Is it to make pro athletes? Is

11
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.880
it the Olympics? And I wonder
if that's a reason maybe why weightlifting doesn't

12
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.920
necessarily seem to try to grow because
it's kind of already on the biggest stage.

13
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.640
And although it's not, you know, the richest sport, which we

14
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.280
talked about another episode, like gold
medals and what they get paid or stipends

15
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:08.439
per country, other countries probably make
a full time living and celebrityhood doing some

16
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:15.079
other more obscure supports in America,
but power of the thing. It seems

17
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.480
like a lot of people wanted to
grow. We've had multiple guests on and

18
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.840
had this as a topic. They
either want the Olympics or yeah, maybe

19
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.120
they want the athletes to be able
to make a full time living, which

20
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:26.920
I think is kind of silly in
some sense because then it gets into a

21
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:34.000
deeper like w NBA versus NBA talk
or whatever, where like if the demand

22
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.400
of sponsorship and viewership is just never
going to be there, Yeah, te

23
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:46.359
NBA, NFL, MLB, Yeah, even soccer, all those started off

24
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:51.680
with people having regular jobs. Yeah, that's season true, I think,

25
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:56.000
even as it couldn't as like the
seventies eighties. Yeah, there's like stories

26
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.319
of I forgot who I think there's
a fullback or somebody in the in the

27
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.040
NFL that was like still like a
lawyer or something or UFC YEA steep A

28
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.680
was the World heavyweight champion and still
working a fireman job and that was like

29
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.520
five years ago, Yeah, which
is insane, and he probably made enough

30
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:17.280
money doing both. Yeah, it
is interesting. It is interesting because to

31
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.560
me, the ultimate goal and I
don't know if the Olympics should be the

32
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:24.400
ultimate goal either, Like what makes
that so cool? I think it's increasingly

33
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:28.960
less cool. Yeah, over time, And if you look at other sports,

34
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.199
like they don't care. No,
like for soccer. The World Cup's

35
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:36.879
way cooler for football obviously the Super
Bowl for basketball. Still, if you're

36
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.599
not winning an NBA championship, no
one really cares, right right, Like

37
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.919
there's an ego involved and there's a
nation pride, and I think that's cool.

38
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.680
But the Olympics are just far too
expensive. I mean, it's difficult

39
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:53.479
to make money hosting an Olympics because
of the infrastructure you have to build.

40
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.599
At least we're gonna get trains for
it at Vegas everywhere, oh everywhere.

41
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.199
Yeah, they're doing not Amtrak,
but what's the other company out here,

42
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:08.319
Pacific Railway. They're trying to get
us from Sack to the bullet train in

43
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.639
middle of nowhere wherever it is.
Modesto or first said, Yeah, so

44
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.560
they're trying to connect those, which
is kind of cool. At least we'll

45
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.240
be able to get to La by
train and in seventy percent of a B

46
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:23.599
bullety. Then they're going San Diego
to Seattle for it. And I think

47
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.680
that's all Olympics and World Cup actually, speaking of bullet trains. I saw

48
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.560
a video from the UK. It
wasn't even a bullet training, It was

49
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.879
just a train going fast and you
really have to stay if you're on the

50
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:39.360
platform, you have to really stay
far away from the track because the wind.

51
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.080
Yeah, it'll it creates a vacuum
behind it, it will suck you

52
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:50.319
towards the rails. So I just
saw like an Instagram post and it kind

53
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.919
of made it like condescending towards Americans, And it was probably an American posting

54
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.479
it, like Japan actually cares about
their people or something, because they drop

55
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:05.000
a gate when before the train takes
off, like a huge roped gate from

56
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:09.080
the platform to the train. But
it's probably for that reason, Yeah,

57
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.840
because they have the bullet trains where
our trains don't go fast and they accelerate

58
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.719
slow. So who gives a shit? Yeah, you know, it's not

59
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:17.560
that we don't like, just be
able to still get pushed right, Just

60
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.120
don't be dumb enough to jump out
there or drop your cell phone or some

61
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:27.560
shit. You always hear videos.
I think the bigger news for powerlifting is

62
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.639
one we talked about it. Powerlifting
America or IPF, whichever one it is,

63
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.560
got that contract with CBS, ESPN
group or ABC NBC group which is

64
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.879
obviously huge, and they're going to
cover a bunch of things. And again,

65
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.199
who knows what the end goal is
of any powerlifter wanting to do things,

66
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.920
But I think like just even pushing
the exposure level is should be the

67
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.319
ultimate goal, right to get more
people involved with the sport that you supposedly

68
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.800
love or care about or want to
do, and then where it goes.

69
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.160
It's kind of like creating content or
creating anything is like where it goes the

70
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.759
world decides. You don't decide,
you know, like you can't say,

71
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.439
like Olympics is a goal, or
let's get all their athletes to get paid

72
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.079
two hundred k, Like, well, that's a cool goal. But let's

73
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.120
build like foundational things that make it
cool, expose more people to it,

74
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.319
and then they decide if they want
to get involved. Right, But the

75
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.000
biggest one, and I think this
is probably and I'm a hater, I'm

76
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:29.120
a natural born hater. I think
probably the coolest move I've seen for powerlifting,

77
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:35.040
Powerlifting America has partnered with the UFC
and they're hosting meets under the UFC

78
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.040
Fight Pass, And I'm not sure, don't quote me. I think it's

79
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:43.639
said June twenty eighth. Already they're
having a meet. Their nationalist is coming

80
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.399
up, right, isn't it.
I think no just passed IPF World's coming

81
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:51.000
up, however, and I'm not
sure if it's the same week. But

82
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:56.079
UFC has been doing it for probably
ten years now, eight years UFC International

83
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.399
Fight Week, where they have a
huge week of expos and different things,

84
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.399
but them accumulating jiu jitsu, which
is huge. We've had Buddies fight on

85
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.519
that, which ends up on UFC
either pay per view or their fight Pass.

86
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:14.399
Obviously, the power Slap is the
same idea, and now it seems

87
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.199
like they've added some kind of contract
with Powerlifting America to the same interesting.

88
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.000
Yeah, yeah, and so I
don't know exactly the detailed details. It

89
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:28.240
was posted yesterday and announced yesterday by
Powerlifting America. But I think it's cool.

90
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.399
I'm definitely gonna go. It's in
Vegas. Bart's even I don't know

91
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.879
if I can leak that. Bart's
talk about going with me, and so

92
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.759
we'll see. Yeah, I don't
think it's a qualifier for anything. I

93
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.000
don't know. There might be money
on the line for it. I forgot

94
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.680
what the exact details were. But
if it's International Fight Week, I think

95
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.519
that all just makes so much back
end business sense, front end marketing sense,

96
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:56.480
like the demographic in the arm wrestling
world, powerlifting strong man. Like

97
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.879
if I'm a UFC, I'm tapping
into strong man somehow, I'm hiring someone

98
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:04.079
to do some shit, and you
get all these kind of like many hobby

99
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.079
leagues underneath the big UFC one.
But there's different ways you can you know,

100
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.879
co market and co brand in between
those things. It seems like a

101
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.560
no brainer. You know, we've
talked about in the past where does powerlifting

102
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:20.439
belong? And we've mentioned X Games
over our many years of podcasting, or

103
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:29.360
or Olympics or WWE. You know, there's there's these niche like worlds that

104
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.240
powerlifting is more popular now, but
it is kind of a sport for misfits

105
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:38.680
and it's not you know, the
main three American sports. So yeah,

106
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.800
how do you fit that in to
gain some traction and like minded folks?

107
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.360
And I think that's the world.
Like power slap is interesting because it's the

108
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:53.839
opposite of powerlifting, right in the
sense that everyone watching is not participating and

109
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.279
or one hopes, right at least
ninety nine percent, like where powerlifting is

110
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.879
probably you know, ninety ten the
other way again, in person's a little

111
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.720
different because you're gonna have families and
friends interested in Johnny in college competing,

112
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.000
so they'll come support them. But
anyone watching any live stream of powerlifting or

113
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:16.519
interested in any meat is often a
powerlifter themselves, so that's a little different.

114
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.879
Arm wrestling, i'd imagine is maybe
fifty to fifty just because it's kind

115
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.680
of unique. It's kind of cool
because everyone knows what a arm wrestle is.

116
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.399
You've been doing it since first grade, so that's kind of unique.

117
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:31.039
And then power slaps obviously just like
a shock factor, but no one's besides

118
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.240
like maybe some frat boys or something, or like trying it on the weekend

119
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.519
or something. You know, Yeah, I don't know, man, After

120
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:43.279
having dealt with this concussion situation,
the idea of somebody slapping me, I

121
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.399
like that I would again knocked out. I would know. There's no fucking

122
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.279
way. There is not a way
on earth that I would do. The

123
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.039
rules are crazy because you're not allowed
to flinch, Like there's a lot of

124
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.759
penalties and shit you get too for
flinching. Is that that I think it's

125
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.120
like a point. Yeah you should, you should get a double hand.

126
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.159
Yeah, I think you get I
think you three strikes. I don't know,

127
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:07.279
I've been watching it. I don't
watch anything not not not appeal to

128
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.320
me, but yeah, I know
this, This concussion thing took a week

129
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.480
and a half for me to feel
like normal again, your sensitive man.

130
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.000
And then the thing I didn't understand
before, well, the list of things

131
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.480
I didn't understand before. I mean, I've gotten bunked a couple of times

132
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.279
before and it was never like this
is. For the first couple of days,

133
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.320
I was like euphoric, you know
how like if you're if you get

134
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.399
sick and then you feel better,
It's like, oh man, I feel

135
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.080
so much better. I'm practically euphoric. It was like that, It's like,

136
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.559
why is why am I feeling like
this? Like am I just like

137
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.080
is it a manifestation of me feeling
lucky that it wasn't worse? Or what?

138
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.919
What the hell is it? And
I looked it up and honest to

139
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:54.159
god, that is a a side
effect of concussion syndrome. Post concussion syndrome

140
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.799
is just feeling euphoric, and it
has something to do with the part of

141
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.919
your brain that's hit. So I
looked up where I got where it was

142
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:09.559
hit in the parietal lobe, the
part that validates sensory experiences like somatics.

143
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.759
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
like, oh, and that's why I

144
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.039
felt so good. I injured that
part of my brain. It's not acting

145
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.279
normally. Yeah yeah, I know. Dream state is pretty common. I've

146
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.120
felt similar after my concussions to go
like a team dinner afterwards like we always

147
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.480
would any basketball game, and everything
like felt like yeah, fuzzy, like

148
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.559
like a dream, like a dream
or a movie. Yeah. Yeah.

149
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:35.480
So this Powerlisting America thing, these
specifics are introducing the Powerlisting America Ultimates Showdown,

150
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.320
Yeah, which some other series they
announced too recently. That's I assume

151
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:45.480
to compete with the usapl Pro series. The first PA meet to receive a

152
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.480
signature sanction, that's what it is. That's the their pro that's supposed to

153
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.080
be their pregnature. Ultimates Showdown will
be held at the UFC International Fight Week

154
00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:00.399
as part of the Ultimates Invitational tenative
schedule. The twenty eighth of June is

155
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:07.759
women's Open raw and equipped forty seven
to sixty three kilos men's Open raw and

156
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:13.399
equipped fifty nine to eighty three kilos
and June twenty ninth, Women's Open raw

157
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:20.720
sixty nine to eighty four plus men's
ninety three to one twenty plus no qualifying

158
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.600
total required. Yeah, but it
says invitational, So I don't know if

159
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:30.919
those are literally invitational that or they're
just setting up for next year. Because

160
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:35.200
obviously, like we went to Keiko
Classic in Fresno and that was like a

161
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.960
forty lifter meet PA and they all
said that was one of the biggest Powerlifting

162
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.919
America meets yet, So I think
participation in the pool is just smaller for

163
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.519
now. But again, I think
this is one of the coolest at least

164
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.720
branding moves, early moves that powerlifting's
ever done. And so if you wanna

165
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.080
up your participation, it seems like
a no brainer. We've obviously seen a

166
00:11:54.200 --> 00:12:01.039
very big shift to Powerlifting America as
it is the path to the IPF just

167
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.519
this year. They've only been around
three or four years to begin with and

168
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.840
split with the USAPL. But it
seems like whoever's in charge there, you

169
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.960
know, at least has some kind
of marketing foresight that other people haven't had

170
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.360
and I'm honestly just impressed. Me
and Bart were talking about this yesterday,

171
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.840
the fact that they could get any
type of stamp approval by the UFC or

172
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.200
partnership based on the participation numbers they
have, which is nothing, based on

173
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:33.960
the dollar amount that they're worth,
which is probably nothing based on only being

174
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:39.919
around three years. Like, it's
super impressive to me to get even that

175
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.759
conversation started, let alone complete it. So props whoever's leading this world.

176
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.799
I mean, it may turn out
to be a shit show. Who knows,

177
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.480
right, The future is uncertain,
but I think it'll be cool,

178
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:56.200
and I think the idea and the
handshake that made this happen is highly impressive.

179
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.120
The top twenty four lifters for each
day of the event will be chosen

180
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.720
to lift in the Signature sanctioned portion
of the event, so essentially like a

181
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.559
prime time Yeah, which is cool. And who knows, right, next

182
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.919
year again, when the skill gap
is there and they have more more members

183
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.799
in the federation in general, it
might be a full invite, right,

184
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.159
yeah, And I think that's probably
where their signature series is going. But

185
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.919
that makes me want to compete,
like, you know, like if you

186
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.279
want to compete somewhere. Yeah,
you don't want to go compete at International

187
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.279
Fight Week in Las Vegas with the
UFC and you're probably lifting in the MGM

188
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.320
or some shit like that's fucking cool, you know, like it finally made

189
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:39.519
it cool. Who's how Who's Who's
natser that weekend June twenty eighth, Yeah,

190
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.559
this is there's somebody. I have
no clue. I wish I could

191
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:50.039
get a refund from a certain nationals
that that same weekend, somebody maybe USGA

192
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.279
or something. Maybe that's often in
Vegas. Yeah, yeah, I mean,

193
00:13:54.559 --> 00:14:01.279
uh, USAPL September World it might
be Worlds. I doubt they would

194
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.960
line that up, but Worlds is
very soon. Yeah. For IPF,

195
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.080
it might be June July. And
my only connection to it is just watching

196
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.600
the lane and talk about it,
talking about it. Yeah, were they

197
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.480
not Lithuania where they hited this year? Romania World? Yeah, I forgot,

198
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.879
it's somewhere what you said it was
a South Africa? No, No,

199
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.720
that was Masters Masters. Yeah,
that's just Masters, So I don't

200
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.360
know where that is. And that's
different time too, that's like in the

201
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.159
fall. Yeah, I think it's
cool. Yeah, I don't know the

202
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.559
Worlds, but it's probably whatever.
It's probably not. I didn't realize that

203
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.440
Parlotic America had hooked up with Alico
as well. Yeah, they ran their

204
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.480
nats out of there last year,
out of Austin, Texas. I mean,

205
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.960
everyone runs with somebody, and I
think it's probably the IPF connection.

206
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.320
Like the IPF probably runs with the
Lake. Yeah, I guess that makes

207
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.799
sense sense. Yeah, so they
probably just funneled through there, whatever partnership

208
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.519
that means, like or yeah,
it looks like what the UFC one means.

209
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.960
Maybe they're not even in the same
location. They might be a gym

210
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.159
way off in the middle of nowhere, but yeah, chances I bet they're

211
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.720
in. The UFC is are often
out of t Mobile, which is the

212
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.440
hockey arena, but hockey Hockey playoffs
are over end of June, so yeah,

213
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.399
they might get to like compete in
there. Who knows, it doesn't

214
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.399
really say yeah, yeah, and
we are soonish, which is yeah,

215
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.200
a ton of info six weeks weeks. Yeah, I wonder how they choose

216
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.960
that invite. I guess it's just
all the people. I mean, if

217
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.159
you didn't make Worlds and you're a
top five guy in powerlifting America, Yeah,

218
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.159
even if you're not fully prepped,
you're probably gonna say yes to this

219
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.799
problem, right, That's what means
that Like to me, that makes it

220
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.200
seem so cool, Like no other
situation are you gonna just like drop a

221
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:45.440
training cycle and be like, yeah, we'll go compete. But this is

222
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.360
cool enough to do that, which
is a rare thing. Like all the

223
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.960
other big ones, the Rogue Invitational
on all this ship, the crossfig Games,

224
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.399
all these places could have adapted powerlifting
or powerlifting could approach them and they

225
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:02.360
haven't. Like those are cool too, and AWE's done ship, So props

226
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:03.679
to them. I don't know who
it is. Me and Barbi we're talking

227
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:08.120
about. Bart in particular said it
would be interesting who's doing made this deal

228
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.080
and then who's gonna end up being
the Dane White of powerlifting, because that

229
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.600
is really what they need. You
know, powerlifting needs like a figurehead to

230
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.039
run this ship, like Kevin Faggy
runs Marvel. Yeah, kind of like

231
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:25.120
you need you need a creative and
a pusher that's gonna like make cool shit

232
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.960
happen. And so whoever made this
happen could be that guy. And they

233
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:33.399
don't necessarily have to be a public
figure like Dana White. But yeah,

234
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:42.200
and the UFC's ownership, they're going
through some issues, not not the not

235
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:48.519
actually the fight portion BUTKO or whatever, but Endeavor they're the parent organization.

236
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.399
Yeah, it's two KO right.
Yeah, they're settling off a bunch of

237
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:56.399
stuff because they're having profitability issues.
Well, I mean they they took off

238
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:00.320
the they a big old pie issues. Yea. Not only did they did

239
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:06.960
they buy you know, UFC and
and where they had they bought the company

240
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:14.039
that owned the UFC. They also
bought Wrestling w yeah w E, and

241
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.640
but from on that side of the
house, but like on the representation side,

242
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:26.880
they bought a bunch of uh,
smaller agencies. Yeah, those are

243
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.519
probably the ones failing because everything I've
read in UFC numbers are through the fucking

244
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.319
roof right now. Uh and so
is w w E. Since the Rock

245
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:40.680
took Vince McMann out, Yeah,
I mean he's gone, he's gone.

246
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:42.359
I don't think it was just the
Rock. I think that it was I

247
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:48.400
don't know, sexually appropriate stuff maybe
inappropriate maybe, but I could kind of

248
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:53.519
see it happening anyways. Maybe because
the Rocks, the Rocks, uh clout

249
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:59.160
and power was declining dev quickly yes, yeah, and now it's kind of

250
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:03.160
back ish. Yeah. Not on
the movie side though, yeah, maybe

251
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:03.839
not. I don't know. I
don't think he's ever going to recover on

252
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.240
the movie side less. Oh yeah, yeah, no, no, no,

253
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:12.160
I don't mean recover. You know, he's supposedly there's a UFC movie

254
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.960
happening or Pride, I guess,
because he's playing Mark Kerr, I think

255
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:21.880
an upcoming film, which really sounds
interesting ish, that sounds like a role

256
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.400
that he's actually made for. But
we shall see. We shall see International

257
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:30.400
Fight week folks. I don't know
the UFC is that the McGregor fight,

258
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:36.039
because I was looking at tickets of
that bitch, Holy shit, bro upper

259
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:44.160
deck fucking Mount Himalaya seats were three
grand good lord. Yeah. Yeah,

260
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.480
And I like UFC and I would
love to see you know, it's just

261
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.880
something cool about seeing like the greats
before they retire, you know, like

262
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.759
I'm glad I've seen Lebron play,
and I'm glad I've seen all this shit.

263
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:57.759
I would love to see McGregor fight. But about all that, I

264
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:02.160
don't know if there's anything out paid
jeez. Oh, so it is that

265
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:06.960
weekend, that's far. Yeah,
that's sick. Will be a lot of

266
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.680
energy going on at least. Yeah, we'll be interesting to see what the

267
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:14.359
facilities look like. I don't know
T Mobiles on the strip like one hundred

268
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.400
yards off, and I don't know
what hotels are around. I think Caesars,

269
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.880
Where's What's it's right next to Italy, and I don't know what hotel

270
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:26.200
Italy's in, So maybe they'll do
in one of the convention centers of the

271
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.920
hotels right next to T Mobile.
I've never been into T Mobile, but

272
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.079
I assume they don't have a bunch
of like expo rooms because it is just

273
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.440
an arena, and obviously they're gonna
have to have the Octagon ready for the

274
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:40.200
fights, so it's not like they
can just like shove it down there.

275
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.119
It seems like it's probably not in
the same facility, Yeah, but it

276
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.759
might be close. It might still
have like some UFC branding or money behind

277
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.759
it, And same with the Expo. I haven't been to the Expo,

278
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.480
although I've thought about going, and
I think that just takes up like a

279
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:57.599
whole portion of the fucking thing.
Side news, I didn't know California state

280
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:11.359
legisl lative powers past like kind of
open alcohol capabilities for districts. So basically,

281
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.640
I think the first move and I've
I've heard about it happening here.

282
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.119
I think we talked about the light
the Beam district trying to do it where

283
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.119
they would shut off streets and make
it like a Bourbon street or a strip

284
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.599
type situation. I heard San Francisco
is gonna be one of the first actually

285
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.039
put pen to paper and try to
make that happen. I forgot the street,

286
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.599
but kind of make their own like
Bourbon Street, which is cool,

287
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:41.559
kind of interesting. I like that. I think that being in Ireland and

288
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.680
in England the first time years ago, like ten years ago or so,

289
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:52.759
people standing around outside bars drinking yeah, chilling, yeah. I mean you

290
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:55.920
get that here if you get a
really chill dive bar and the security guard

291
00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.200
is not like a yeah, but
yeah, it's not a common I mean

292
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:02.359
that's what made vague is so cool
to me as like a young twenty year

293
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:04.599
old, you just grab a beer
and just like start walking. And then

294
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.440
then during the pandemic you could get
like takeaway cocktails. How crazy? Was

295
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:14.519
not? They and they they they
enshrined that that's still happening. Yeah,

296
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:17.839
you can still do that, true, but it's supposedly not supposed to drink

297
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:19.759
them. You're not supposed to drink
what's a brown bag law? Is that

298
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:25.680
a fake law? Is that even
not a law? I don't know in

299
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:29.039
terms of like drinking up your leg
like drinking it, that's a good question.

300
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:30.359
I don't know. I think that's
technically illegal, and it's just like

301
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.680
a like a side quest to make
cops not come talk to you kind of

302
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.519
you potentially everybody. Everybody does it, yeah, and it's like a typical,

303
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:41.240
you know, kind of bum type
move. But yeah, people do

304
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.880
it, have like a forty ounce
of a brown bag and they're drinking out

305
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:48.160
of it, Yeah, which just
seems weird because then yeah, because open

306
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.119
alcohol is illegal, so I doubt
that makes it legal. But this legislation

307
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:57.000
will allow districts or like streets or
blocks to do something like that, which

308
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:02.079
obviously I'm not actually a huge,
you know, proponent of alcohol myself,

309
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:07.119
because I think it is not great. But yeah, I don't know,

310
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:12.519
it's never really been that great for
me. But I just think in terms

311
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:17.839
of like environments and like economy and
like cool things to do, it kind

312
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:23.400
of adds a nice sparkle too.
Yeah, arena situations or concert situations or

313
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:29.359
whatever it might be. Yeah,
I have long since reached the point where

314
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:33.319
I understand, like, hey,
it's a weekend, I'm gonna get drunk.

315
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.319
I don't get it. I don't
get that it's if folks are tired.

316
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:40.559
I think it's like, yeah,
I was just it's like I want

317
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:44.519
to feel shit like shit for days. I think I'll get really really drunk.

318
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.400
So everyone, it's most it's most
of America. I don't get it,

319
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.160
understand. And I'm this is not
like a puritanical thing. This is

320
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:55.680
purely like what your body feel like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

321
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:57.920
mean I think the level of hangovers
are We even talked about it in that

322
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:00.759
genetic thing, right, some people
just don't him as bad. Yeah,

323
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.480
and so like if that's the case, yeah, sure, I don't know.

324
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:11.000
I do not know. I I
don't drink enough even when I'm sort

325
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:12.799
of trying to actually feel buzzed anymore. So I don't know what the hell.

326
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:18.279
Yeah, you gotta go back to
the tequilas. I just bought some

327
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.440
like very top chelf mescal that I
have not opened yet. Yeah, I

328
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:23.880
might get your buzz him. Yeah, potentially, I was going. You

329
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:27.799
know, we just passed. Can
go to Mayo drink it a mio,

330
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:33.640
drinking a mio, drinking a mio. Yeah, you're fake holiday. Yeah,

331
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.559
America's fake holiday. Man, we
can't have ship. It's like Mexican

332
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.759
American, right, it's not even
like Mexican. I think there is something

333
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:45.599
like in Mexico. Yeah, yeah, but it's not like but yeah,

334
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.160
no it yeah, it is American. It's a it's a reason for Americans

335
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.240
to drink. Yeah, it's like
Saint Patrick's Day. Here is more way

336
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.279
to blowout than it is. And
yeah, they said no one parties as

337
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:57.599
hard on to go to mile as
white people. Yeah that's true. That's

338
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:02.720
probably true. Yeah, so true. Just fucking dumb bitches excuse to get

339
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:07.440
a margarita. That's literally all those
Yeah, no, I don't doubt that

340
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:08.799
at all. I like a little
margarita. You're in a beach setting.

341
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:14.079
Yeah, well yeah, like I
mean frozen margarita or on the rocks margarita.

342
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:15.559
We'll do both, but probably a
frozen deal. You know, make

343
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.640
it a fucking dessert, Make a
slushy, yeah, make it a fucking

344
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.160
treat. I mean, I don't
drink any of that. But if I

345
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:23.680
had to choose one, I'd probably
go, Yeah, slushy on a beach.

346
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:26.920
Yeah, that's that's fine. Yeah, it's fine, no complaints there.

347
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:30.559
Yeah, tequila shot before and after
maybe to really make it do something.

348
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.720
Yeah, and then they shove a
beer in it sometimes, right,

349
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.759
Uh they can. Yeah, I
don't know about all that. Yeah,

350
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.920
rather just have a slushy. But
Vegas has all that bullshit too, was

351
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:47.240
it Fat Tuesday? You basically just
get like a Mardi Gras. Yeah,

352
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:52.160
like an icy on with a little
bit of overpriced alcohol. Yeah, ye

353
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.920
big boy. I mean they do
taste good. I get it, I

354
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:57.200
get it. But yeah, imagine
that like here, I think it could

355
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:02.279
be cool outside of the arena.
You bring it up street. Yeah potentially

356
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.279
hopefully you know, wouldn't cause more
trouble than they already have there. But

357
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:07.519
I just think that because you're gonna
lock it all down, it'll probably only

358
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.119
get better. Maybe, So you
can't. You just can't loop in old

359
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.799
Sack because old Sack is too much
of a chaos. Yeah, and it's

360
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.359
a little more spread, it's uncontrolled. Yeah, right, you need like

361
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:19.759
a strip to control, yeah,
like a starting to finish to it.

362
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:26.319
Some gates like police force, like
when they have events like particularly like they

363
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.480
have food events and stuff like that. Donetown those are they're gated off.

364
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:33.759
But then there's alcohol sales. Yeah, yeah, they walk around with it

365
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:36.680
or not. They shut down three
blocks leading into the capitol. Yeah,

366
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:40.440
might as well do that. No
one's driving on K Street. You're not

367
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.039
even allowed to drive on parts of
it. Yeah, so what hello,

368
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:45.119
So why not just do it?
Yeah? It makes sense to me.

369
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.079
I don't know, give some local
businesses a chance, give some people something

370
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:52.000
to do that's hopefully safe. Yeah. Again, you add alcohol, and

371
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.119
you add late nights, there's just
always gonna be Yeah, but we got

372
00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.680
issues anyways. I don't think you
get worse. One hopes Yeah, yeah,

373
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.319
it hopes not. But they used
to do this that wasn't controlled.

374
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:06.839
But they used to do a thing
called Thursday Night Market on K Street and

375
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:08.799
it was super cool. Lots and
lots of people. There was like booths

376
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:12.359
and it was like a farm.
It started office like farmers market stuff.

377
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.799
Yeah, and then it was like
kind of everything. I think they brought

378
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.400
it back on Caesar Shove As Park. Really it is. It was really

379
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.839
cool, but then there was just
too much like gun violence and knife violence,

380
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.279
and it's kind of a knife club. That's why I think if you

381
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:30.559
out in force have to regulate the
alcohol and you're allowed to drink on the

382
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.000
street, then they're gonna have to
obviously have security police force. That would

383
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:37.400
make it slightly, you know,
safer, rather than it's kind of an

384
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:40.920
in between where people are drinking but
they're not supposed to, then you're gonna

385
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:42.000
get issues. That's kind of how
old sac is. Like. I'm sure

386
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:45.400
people are walking around there, and
I'm sure all your guys' cities out there,

387
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.839
but it just makes a lot of
sense for like Sacramento, San Francisco,

388
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.400
San Diego. Yeah, to kind
of have a little strip like that

389
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.079
kind of gives you a reason to
go. I don't get the A's jamming

390
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:59.839
for a bit, you get the
King's jam and you get a casino down

391
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:04.160
here. Now at least there's many
tourist reasons to visit, so the I

392
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:10.960
don't know if you've seen the irony
of the city voting to approve bonds to

393
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:21.440
help build that hospital complex, hospital
medical school complex that was ARCA Yeah,

394
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:27.839
yeah, and the part of the
money goes to demolishing the foundation of a

395
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:33.519
major League baseball park. They started
to build there when the King's Arena was

396
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:37.799
built, the old Arco Arena was
built. Interesting, it's still sitting there.

397
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.799
Like the whole thing, the whole
financing and everything fell apart, but

398
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.279
it's still sitting there. Interesting,
And they're gonna like for a major League

399
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:49.720
baseball team in town for three years. But at the same time, the

400
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:56.359
like major structural underpinnings of a major
League baseball park are going to get destroyed.

401
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.440
It would be better down here,
though, No, definitely be better

402
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.440
down here for sure. Yeah.
I'd rather have them just rip apart our

403
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:08.319
Triple A field or expanded or renovated, or make it bigger something. I

404
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:11.480
don't know if I don't even know
if it can be made big enough.

405
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.160
I know they can't put us put
decks on it without tearing it down.

406
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.680
Yeah, no, they probably can't
support. They probably don't do anything without

407
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.440
tearing it down. Now there's apartments
all over. It'll be hard to expand

408
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:26.160
it. But hypothetically the location of
that makes a lot more sense. It

409
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:33.640
was just literally across the river from
us. Yeah. Uh, this is

410
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:38.440
just an aside for us. I
might even cut this out because it's anachronistic.

411
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:42.640
But how's our meat doing in terms
of registrations? Is it? Uh?

412
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:45.400
Take it like eighty percent ful ish? They were like, right there,

413
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:52.119
yeah, eighty percent full meat.
October nineteenth, eighteen nineteen. I

414
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.680
believe it's nineteen nineteen. It's going
to California USAPO Open class only little competitive

415
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:02.799
action here at Third Street if you
guys are us APL competitors and looking at

416
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:07.000
it, if you go to the
link Third Street BB sorry Instagram, Yeah,

417
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.200
Third Street BB links in little Bio
to sign up. Yeah, a

418
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.519
couple spots left. A couple of
spots left since this show is up for

419
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.720
next week, probably be closed by
them, but sure we are waiting who

420
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:25.279
knows? Who knows? That should
be good. Yeah. So that brings

421
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:30.319
us around to the question I discovered
on on the powerlifting subreddit. Uh.

422
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.759
And of course now I've screwed it
up and I can't find the person's name,

423
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.200
so you're just gonna have to live
without any any shot out, any

424
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.680
credit whatever. The question is this, though, what if there were fewer

425
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:48.240
attempts allowed in powerlisting meets, like
two or even one? Yeah, I

426
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.440
mean even even like lingo of the
game they say your openers, your last

427
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.839
warm up. Yeah, and who
wants to watch that? I would rather

428
00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:57.920
do that in the back. Yeah, it does. It does seem weird

429
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:03.119
if you compare it to other individual
sports, you know, like a throwing

430
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:08.279
sport, discus, shot put,
whatever, or like a long jump or

431
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:12.359
other things that are like very individual
individual because obviously track and fields individual,

432
00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:17.079
but a race you are racing against
someone. So if you kind of try

433
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:21.279
to isolate some of these sports that
are as close as possible to powerlifting,

434
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:25.920
the difference is you're choosing your attempt
to me, right, because shot,

435
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:27.119
but you got three attempts just to
eat that bitch as far as you can.

436
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:32.759
Maybe your first one is your best
or discus or whatever where Yeah,

437
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:37.759
if you get three shots, and
obviously there are variables which you don't know

438
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.599
exactly what you can hit in all
these sports. Yeah, highland games kind

439
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:42.880
of the same way. Yeah,
similar, but they probably get three attempts,

440
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:47.480
right, they get multiple attempts,
but it's still the best of three.

441
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:49.799
And I don't I think that they're
you're you might only make the first

442
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:53.559
one. And yeah, this is
probably just some ancient shit to choose three,

443
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:59.200
why not five? Yeah, yeah, that's a long dame. Yeah,

444
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:00.279
but you know what I mean,
like pathetically, when you invented these

445
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:04.799
sports in fucking three thousand BC or
whatever. Yeah, like why wouldn't it

446
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:10.680
just be five? And for powerlifting? Yeah, I mean it'll never happen,

447
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.799
But I wouldn't be that against too. You're I mean, you're obviously

448
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:21.240
always chasing your best number, but
at the same time, you're relying on

449
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:22.720
the fact that your best number is
not going to be your first one.

450
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:26.440
And yeah, and it might not
even be that day. Like the more

451
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.960
competitive you get, the chances you
hit a PR on platform and all time

452
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.119
PR is low, right because you're
actually trying to compete, so you're trying

453
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:37.559
to just do enough just to beat
the other guy. I think the only

454
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:42.480
things that would have to like you'd
have to start to adjust the selection rules

455
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.640
a little bit, like maybe the
time on them. Maybe you can select

456
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:49.920
or change your weight up until thirty
seconds of your attempt or something like that,

457
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:55.079
Right, Like if you only have
two attempts and your first one is

458
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:59.319
like crazy rough, maybe you get
more time to contemplate on your second attempt

459
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:00.640
or something. But yeah, I
don't see a lot of negatives to be

460
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:05.160
honest, I really don't. No, I don't either. I think we'd

461
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:09.519
speed things up, Yeah, it
would, And yeah, I just don't

462
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:13.960
see that many negatives, like if
you need that many because you literally get

463
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:17.000
infinite time and infinite control in the
warm up room, right, you know

464
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:22.079
if all that was limited or time
or like the logistics of that, like

465
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:24.839
in basketball or something that stuffs very
restricted. You know, when you can

466
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.599
get on the court, you only
have ten minutes to do this, and

467
00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:30.160
so yeah, if you're not warm
enough for your game, you're gonna get

468
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:31.799
fucked. But here, I mean
you just go back there as long as

469
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:35.440
you want, Yeah, and you
take whatever attempt you want, and you're

470
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.079
on your own pace and your own
weights and your own coach and your own

471
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:42.079
So it kind of makes sense.
And really, like even competitive power letters

472
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:45.400
say that, like, yeah,
you're you know, you're your opener should

473
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:47.400
be kind of like your last warm
up. So yeah, why not do

474
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.839
in the back? If we are
if we're trying to grow the sport,

475
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.799
and we part of that is popularity, and part of that is spectators,

476
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:57.640
Yeah, making it more watchable,
yeah, and for the people running it,

477
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:01.319
et cetera. And then yeah,
I mean if you missgroove quote unquote

478
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:05.680
two lifts, yeah, fuck you, you weren't ready that day. You

479
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:09.680
know, that's misgroove is a is
a an excuse and of reason at the

480
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:13.839
same time, you know, And
yeah, it's kind of a rough in

481
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.640
raw lifting. Yeah, it happens. For sure, there's technical breakdown,

482
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:20.640
but that's part of the sport.
That's like, that's how you lifted the

483
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:22.160
weight, right then, Yeah,
you're not gonna no one ever says that.

484
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.400
If you said that in basketball,
yeah, the would fucking laugh you

485
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:28.839
off the court, you know what
I mean? Like miss that shot?

486
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:30.720
Yeah, man, my wrist,
it didn't flick it right, Like,

487
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:32.359
shut the fuck up, bro,
you'd missed. Miss is a like end

488
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:36.079
results all the matters in sports,
right, we don't care how you got

489
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:37.839
there. Bro. You know,
golf, they're not talking about that.

490
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.000
They could say like, oh I
had a bad swing, like all right,

491
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:42.960
yeah, but you're not saying like, wow, I didn't turn my

492
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:45.519
But powerlifting, for some reason,
the culture is weird. There's no other

493
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:51.359
sport if they do that weightlifting.
The weightlifting is crazy technical. But even

494
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:52.559
that, I feel like they do
it less or maybe they do it talking

495
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:55.759
to their coach. I don't know, is weird world strongest manager just happened?

496
00:33:57.920 --> 00:34:04.519
Yeah, repeat by uh by the
uk US sitting in third, and

497
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:07.960
Canadians and second. Yeah, Canadians
up. Man, they gotta be.

498
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:12.800
That's gotta be their best athlete all
time, them, him and Steve Nash

499
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:16.639
potentially, I don't know, Yeah, him or Steve Nash, I gotta

500
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:22.440
be. I mean Wayne is a
Wayne Gritzky American? No, I don't

501
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:22.920
know. Maybe, I don't know. Yeah, I thought he's from like

502
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:28.800
Minnesota. I might be wrong.
Yeah, man, they probably got some

503
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:31.239
hockey players, but Wayne Grizky's the
greatest all time. True, So they

504
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:35.800
got the third best hockey player all
time. They got Steve Nash, one

505
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:37.480
of my favorite point gards all the
time. He's probably top five, top

506
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:43.920
ten point cards all time. They
got a Bob Marley's son played on the

507
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:49.480
Canadian Rohan. I think Rohan was
a Canadian. I think it was on

508
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.440
the I don't know how. I
don't know if he played in their national

509
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:57.159
soccer league or was on their national
team. That's what I don't know.

510
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:06.239
Was Lauren Hill's boothang really yeah?
Yeah, he was pro soccer. But

511
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:08.119
again, I don't know if he
played. I assume they have some kind

512
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:15.760
of national soccer team or league league. Okay, this is list of best

513
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:20.639
Canadian athletes. Sports Illustrated the list
of best Canadian athletes. This is a

514
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:27.000
really obvious one that we just skipped
right over. GSB. Oh. Yeah,

515
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.679
yeah, he probably wins, because
you could still probably make a good

516
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:34.320
argument he's the best mixed martial artists
of all time. Yeah, twenty two

517
00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:37.320
to two record, Yeah, you
coulda you could definitely argue he's the best.

518
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:39.760
Wayne Gretzky. Damn it, he
is Canadian. Yeah, he's born

519
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:46.119
in Ontario. God damn it.
George Tavallo never heard of him. Aubrey

520
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:53.480
Graham, Oh no, you've seen
his jumper video. He lost twice to

521
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:58.960
Muhammad Ali. That's uh, that's
your uh yeah, that's your best.

522
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:01.360
Yeah, getting your ass whooped twice. But I've never seen this picture before.

523
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:04.480
I have an either by the actual
best. Yeah, some of that

524
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:07.920
stuff is funny. People make a
lot of fun of a basketball in particular

525
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:09.760
when they say, like, oh, like Larry Bird was good or Matgic

526
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:13.400
Johnson was good, but they're scoring
against plumbers and shit, they was like,

527
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:15.880
make that joke, which isn't true
in NBA in the eighties, but

528
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:19.920
I get the joke. You look
at the insurance salesman though. Yeah.

529
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:22.000
You look at h Muhammad Ali fought
and some of us fights, You're like,

530
00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:24.800
fuck, dude, that dude's never
like got off the couch, like

531
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:29.280
someone look like such slobs. But
then you look at Tyson Fury, who's

532
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:30.719
you know, one of the best
everyways ever, and he also looks like

533
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:35.119
he's never got off the couch.
Yeah. Gary Gate never heard of him.

534
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:37.480
Lacrosse player. Oh, they gotta
have a runner, uh not Marion?

535
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:42.880
Fuck? Who's he got popped?
Their big track star that got popped?

536
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:45.199
Ben? Yeah? Ben Johnson rights. Yeah. If he didn't get

537
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:52.199
popped, he'd probably be on this
list. Maurice Richard Hockey Hall of Fame

538
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:55.760
wave the customary three year wait in
order to induct him in nineteen sixty one.

539
00:36:55.840 --> 00:37:00.360
Not somebody I know. This is
the name I've heard Ferguson Janekins,

540
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:07.199
I'm out. Uh hockey? Oh
No, Baseball. Angeleague Baseball played for

541
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.639
four teams in his career, always
will always be remembered as a cub Okay.

542
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:15.039
He won the nineteen seventy one so
young and made the All Stars in

543
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:20.199
three times. They got some young
basketball kids shyes from there. Arguably arguably

544
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.679
the best point guard in the league
right now is Canadian. Yeah yeah,

545
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:28.599
he played for Okay, see he
might. He probably belongs on the list

546
00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:31.280
now. If fucking number four lost
to muhammed a league twice, this has

547
00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:37.480
this reigning fucking yeah, as his
LinkedIn profile states, we're missing a very

548
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:42.159
obvious hockey star. However, I
don't know shit about hockey. I wish

549
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:45.679
I did. Gordy How Yeah,
I don't even know. I just know

550
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:50.639
Gretzky. Gordy how played for in
the in the NHL for five decades.

551
00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:53.480
He played seventeen ninety seven games,
the most of all time. No one

552
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:59.119
will ever talk that Steve Nash that
you mentioned, Yeah, buddy, how's

553
00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:01.199
he so low? Are these in
order? I don't know. No,

554
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:07.679
they're not number not the stud another
hockey that we missed. Obviously, there's

555
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:13.000
gonna be a lot of hockey players, Bobby or yeah or maybe sounds familiar.

556
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:15.000
I played like one hockey game on
Game Boy, so then you like

557
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:17.440
learn the roster, you know,
Yeah, I think he was on there.

558
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:22.159
Cindy Klassen speed skater. Yeah,
curling, speed skating, I don't

559
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:29.760
give a shit. Nineteen seventy two
Team Canada, the whole team NHL first

560
00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:35.880
ever series involving NHL players defeated the
Soviet Union. Nineteen seventy two Summit Series.

561
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:37.639
What's the movie miracle? I was
just telling the kids about that.

562
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:43.039
Yeah, that's gotta be what late
seventies. Then they played the ussr IS

563
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:45.880
eighty eighty. Yeah, Mike Weir, I know that name. Yeah,

564
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:50.239
PGA, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's legit. Yeah, golf.

565
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:52.599
I mean they don't have two thousand
and three when he won the Masters.

566
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:53.920
They don't have a lot of sun
up there. It really does ruin.

567
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:57.960
But then you think like basketball would
be harder hitting. I mean, now

568
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:01.519
Shi is really good. There are
other kids from out there. But yeah,

569
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:06.480
another hockey name we miss, Mario
Lemieux. Lemieux I know, yeah,

570
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:10.239
played for seventeen season, scored six
hundred and ninety goals. Lemio.

571
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:14.159
I know he's from Montreal, but
he played for Pittsburgh. I think they

572
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:19.760
have a couple uh yes soccer players
somewhere that have been Okay. Rohan Marley

573
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:29.440
played in the NFL. NFL apparently
I'm on it some wiki. That's crazy.

574
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:35.920
Yeah, Clara Hughes. Another speed
skater, Donovan Bailey. Who's Donovan

575
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:40.079
Bailey? That's not familiar. Yeah, one of the stars of the nineteen

576
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:44.800
ninety six Atlanta Olympics, winning gold
in one hundred meters and the four by

577
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:46.679
one hundred relay. He was going
to say, you're like gymnasts or something,

578
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:50.320
you think they might be able to
sneak in there. Maybe I don't

579
00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:52.360
know. I can't see the whole
list, so I'm just going on.

580
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:54.760
They're just revealing. As I said, I'm just thinking like indoor sports.

581
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:59.599
Yeah, you would think indoors.
Yeah, because even like Toronto's pretty south

582
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:05.280
them and it's fucking freezing. Back
to baseball, Larry Walker, Yeah,

583
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:08.440
I don't know that played for the
Rockies. Finished his career with a three

584
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:14.159
thirteen average, which is not an
easy thing to do. In nineteen ninety

585
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:19.920
nine he hit three seventy nine.
That's outstanding. Side note on baseball,

586
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:24.039
just saw a clip it's King Griffy
Junior. Fuck was it Barry Bonds?

587
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.880
I forgot who it was. It
might have been young Barry. I don't

588
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:32.280
know, but this fool just spider
Man's in the outfield to take away someone's

589
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:36.400
home run. Oh it might have
been Albert Bell. Fuck I forgot who

590
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:37.559
it was, but somebody in this
you know, he who went up the

591
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:42.280
wall. Yeah, bro, yeah
snags. It ends up beating his home

592
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:45.880
run record at the end of the
year by one home run. You know,

593
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:47.920
like I think King Griffy had like
forty nine, and it might have

594
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:52.400
been Albert Bell had like forty eight. And then they yeah, do like

595
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:55.360
a flashback at it, and he's
fucking spider manning up this wall and dislocates

596
00:40:55.360 --> 00:41:02.840
his shoulder to catch this fucking thing. Gesz. Yeah. Other another hockey

597
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:08.920
player, Patrick Roy not not a
member of the succession Roy family. Lenox

598
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:15.519
Lewis Okaya boxing. Yeah, forty
one to two and one career record,

599
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:21.760
Lenox lusion legend. He was born
in London but held dual citizenship with Canada,

600
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:24.239
so he's I guess we'll count of
Sidney Crosby. My yeah, I

601
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:30.840
know that, my my son and
daughter in law used to run on the

602
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:35.599
same track as Sidney Crosby hockey.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know

603
00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:38.480
that name. He averaged thirty five
point eight goals this season in his first

604
00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:40.519
six years. Oh, you know, if that's good. How many games

605
00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:43.760
are you even playing a season?
I don't know. It's a good question.

606
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:50.840
Not a hockey guy. Jacques Villeneuve
Formula one driver from nineteen ninety six

607
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:53.239
to two thousand and six, won
eleven of one hundred and sixty five races,

Four time All Star, one time a

611
00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:14.000
l m v P. And that's
the end of the sports illustrats list.

612
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:17.559
It's all I got, It's all
I got. No Aubrey Graham, Yeah,

613
00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:22.599
sorry, sorry Aubrey. Sorry.
Bucko sit the sidelines on this one.

614
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:27.000
Prior Media, which is another company
that I don't know has a has

615
00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:32.320
a more compact list. Gretzky,
Donovan Bailey, Clara Hughes, Mario Lemu,

616
00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:43.119
Sydney Klaust and Terry Fox. That's
interesting. The marathon her Oh Hayley

617
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:51.960
Wickenheiser in women's hockey, Christine Sinclair
sockey player, soccer player and captain of

618
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:57.239
the comedian Canadian national team. I
wonder if, like the ESP and Steve

619
00:42:57.320 --> 00:43:00.599
Nash, yeah, GSP is probably
their best yeah, if you I wonder

620
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:02.519
if it, like culturally, does
trickle down to like people just don't care,

621
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:09.960
Like, do you like the average
fifteen to twenty five year old Canadian

622
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:14.920
just not care that much about sports? Because I feel like just caring is

623
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:19.079
so much to be good, right, because if they cared, America fucking

624
00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:22.880
cares. Yeah. I think that
they care a lot about hockey. Yeah,

625
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:24.800
I think they care a lot a
lot about hockey. Yeah, just

626
00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:29.639
from observationally. Sure, I don't
know beyond that, you know what I

627
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:31.760
mean? Yeah, I mean,
and then like to only care about one

628
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:36.320
sport's weird too, And maybe that's
just because obviously we're fucking American and sports

629
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:42.360
are like very important to us.
If baseball were bigger in in Canada,

630
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:45.239
there would be some kind of an
East go with some kind of West Coast

631
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:50.000
team, sure if there was.
If the NBA were bigger in Canada,

632
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.320
there would be some kind of a
West Coast There was for a while,

633
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:53.960
yeah, yeah, they had they
had a team for a long time.

634
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.000
They had the Grizzlies for a really
long time. The other issue, too,

635
00:43:57.039 --> 00:43:58.880
is they just don't have folks,
right, Yeah, they don't.

636
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:01.719
There's just no people. Is like
what do they say Texas or something?

637
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:05.800
Right, Yeah, yeah, like
the whole So then like to even have

638
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:09.079
a Steve Nash or a Crosby's pretty
impressive. Yeah, you have a smaller

639
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:13.639
pool to drive. But then I
guess you reverse Uno card that bitch and

640
00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:17.400
freak athletes. If we went through
the top Texan born athletes, the list

641
00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:22.800
would probably wop their ass probably,
Yeah, Like Texas football is Insaneoh,

642
00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:28.880
probably Texas powerlifting, which I don't
know if you want to count even Yeah,

643
00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:30.440
they're the best. Yeah, yeah, they're the best if you look

644
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:35.880
at you just Texas powerlifting currently,
they're probably the best in the world.

645
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:38.199
Yeah, it blows everybody out the
water. Yeah. And then like football,

646
00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:45.440
obviously, wrestling's okay, Basketball's solid. Rap game is through the roof

647
00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:51.719
hop hip hop rosters nutty, not
as good as the at L, but

648
00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:53.719
they're doing pretty good. What other
sports I got down there? Track and

649
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:57.280
field they're probably nutty. I bet
you they got some sprinters and drawers that

650
00:44:57.360 --> 00:45:00.480
are crazy. I mean, the
University of Texas good everything. Baseball I

651
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:02.639
bet you's pretty good. Now as
good as California. But I bet you

652
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:07.199
baseball in Texas and now as good
as Florida. But it's Florida California.

653
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:08.960
I mean, there are a lot
of states that just produced freaks, but

654
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:13.280
Florida, California, Texas, probably
Ohio. And I'm slightly biased, but

655
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:16.239
it is slightly true. Just whip
out freaks and like track and field,

656
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:21.320
football, wrestling, baseball, and
basketball. I think Florida California is the

657
00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:27.159
baseball leaders. Okay, this is
this is a This is Texas Monthly's list

658
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:32.440
of the sixteen most influential Texas sports
icons. They better have this fifty years

659
00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:38.480
Texas rattlesnake on there. Let's see
George Foreman. Yeah, boom, he's

660
00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:45.239
whooped. Lennox close ass. Aerol
Spence Junior is a welterweight boxer. Yeah

661
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:52.320
interesting. Roger Staubach is stallback freak. Patrick Mahomes at twenty six, are

662
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:55.800
already in the best quarterback or a
football player of conversation of all time.

663
00:45:57.639 --> 00:46:04.159
Okay, this this one blows my
mind. Okay, so uh sports writers,

664
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:06.639
they're in so his figures, not
athletes. Throw them in there.

665
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:10.480
Yeah, dang Jenkins, who wrote
I believe he wrote Friday Night Lights.

666
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:14.760
Yeah, I haven't seen the movie. I think I've only seen the show.

667
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:16.199
I haven't seen the movie either or
the show, to be honest with

668
00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:19.960
you, but the one that this
one blows my mind. And this book

669
00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:24.880
is actually in this room right now. It's Basketball and Other Things by Shay

670
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:30.360
Serrano. I know that name.
Shay Serrano's books, including Basketball and other

671
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:36.880
Things, are illustrated by the same
guy who the illustrations in our bathroom are

672
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:43.960
from. Yeah. Coaches, yeah, probably all of them. Darryl Royle

673
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:50.000
of University of Texas. Does it
say sport basketball, football? Paraye football

674
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:54.159
football, gotta be football? And
Greg Popovich. Yeah, I didn't know

675
00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:59.320
he's born there. But Papovich.
Yeah, arguably top five, I mean

676
00:46:59.480 --> 00:47:06.320
not even our top five basketball coaching
history at sport Baseball, Jose Cruz played

677
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:13.679
for the Astros and nineteen seventy four
National League's Best Kept Secret. Uh and

678
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:21.960
current Jose L. Tuve. He's
a shortman. He's very short, and

679
00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:28.320
that's all they got. Game changers, Lee Trevino, Simone Biles, oh,

680
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:35.599
some Mons, Yeah, and the
Queen Bee Beyonce. Beyonce, I

681
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:42.039
mean some own Biles alone, probably
crushes all those Canadian names. H Earl

682
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:49.760
Campbell, I know that name,
played at UT and Arch Manning. Oh

683
00:47:49.840 --> 00:47:52.599
yeah, all the Mannings, Yeah
you're there. Fun, Canada's fine.

684
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:55.800
Canada lost, Canada lost all three
Mannings. And the young gun is supposed

685
00:47:55.800 --> 00:48:00.639
to be crazy. I don't know
Arch. Yeah, is he named after

686
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:02.079
the grap But yeah, he's going
crazy. I think he's about to be

687
00:48:02.320 --> 00:48:06.960
sophomore in college. I forgot,
but I think they say he's nutty too.

688
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.039
Yeah. You take both the Manning
brothers and Pat Mahomes. Yeah,

689
00:48:10.199 --> 00:48:13.920
yeah, you're done. Yeah,
you're done. Pat Maholmes could have played

690
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:16.639
pro baseball too. Yeah, yeah, you're done. Yeah. I hate

691
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:21.119
the guy guy. He's very annoying, but he's a free co So this

692
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:25.280
is an interesting category. Quarterback turned
sportscaster. Uh, this is one that

693
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:30.639
you guys will not know. Don
Meredith aka Dandy Don Meredith. He used

694
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:38.920
to he was Howard Cosell's sidekick Cosell
and then yeah, yeah, one of

695
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:44.639
one of the three it was.
It was Frank Gifford, Don Meredith and

696
00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:51.320
Howard Cosell. And this one is
really weird. I don't know who really

697
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:55.760
believes this Tony Romo. Oh yeah, I mean he's still good. But

698
00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:00.199
the things he just says obvious things. You just oh an announcer, Yeah,

699
00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:02.760
yeah, I meant football player.
Yeah no, I'm talking about yeah

700
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:07.119
announcer. He's fine, he's fine. He just says the most obvious thing.

701
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:13.280
He's like kind of the uh like
cookie cutter announcer. Yeah, it

702
00:49:13.400 --> 00:49:15.840
looks it, talks it. Yeah, he's fine, but you're not gonna

703
00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:19.400
hate him either. There's some announcers
you're like, God, this guy's annoying.

704
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:22.000
You know, he's fine. Yeah, he's not wonderful, But yeah,

705
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:25.000
that's that list is I'm sure missing
football players like o Lineman and shit.

706
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:29.280
Yeah there there was a Sports Illustrated
list from nineteen ninety nine that I

707
00:49:29.320 --> 00:49:30.400
had fifty people on it and I
was not going to get there. No,

708
00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:35.519
no, canad already lost. Sorry
guys, Texas whooped that ass this.

709
00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:39.239
They probably got better hockey players than
YouTube, let's face it. So

710
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:44.480
I'll rip through this list. Somebody
else's list of top top ten. Ben

711
00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:52.920
Hogan, yeah, ga, Byron
Nelson bg A semi ball, I don't

712
00:49:52.960 --> 00:50:00.320
know him, quarterback TCU uh tris

wins too, George Foreman, Earl

714
00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:13.800
Campbell, Bob Lilly, and there's
a bunch of Kevin rant I don't know.

715
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:16.079
I think he's born there. He
definitely went to ut And I feel

716
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:20.199
like that's often a choice if you're
born there, you know what I mean,

717
00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:22.639
if you're somewhere else, you're pregnant. A lot of East Coast guys

718
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:23.840
ended up in a duke or in
North Carolina. A lot of West Coast

719
00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:28.159
guys end up at a uc USC
and a U C l A. Even
